Thanks Greatsteaks, I have sent an email to BT to hook me up with an entire system including the 4 channel amp, we will see what they come back with as a recommendation. I requested pricing on the 4180.14, 7.1 speakers for the fairing and 6.5 for the rear pods. From what I understand you just went through the purchase and installation of a system on your sled.

Yes, but only received the 6.5's as the 7.1's are out of stock. Had 6.5's in the fairing and alpine spr 60's in the rear. Just put focal krc 165's in the fairing last night. Spacers for the 6.5's will be here Monday(ebay $14) so I'll put them in next week.

I understand the 7.1's are out of stock but I can wait until they are replenished, heck I spent last season with the stock system whats a few more weeks.

If your looking for a percentage of how much better they'll sound over your stock speakers I was told that I would notice a 30 percent improvement in the sound clarity without an amp? HarlyReb

Maybe in the parking lot but certainly not going down the road.

The best advise is to wait until your able to add an amp and speakers and do it right the first time.

Exactly what I plan on doing, the only waiting will be on BT, for their speaker inventory to be replenished.

I will wait for the BT's to come in, not in any real big hurry, BT said the stock will be available by 4/26 so not too much of a wait at all.
